times the number reported yesterday. The bodies
OF eighteen women in full opera costume have
been found huddled together at the bottom of q
staircase leading from the second story, where
they had probably been occupying boxes. Their

Emphatic assertions by whites of the existence
OF color line, like those which the National Drill
has caused are echoed by the cOlored people In
the calling of a national convention OF the race to
meet in Indianapolis next July for political pur-
poses. 1t is as unwse on one side as on the other
TO emphasize the color line. Unless some great
grievance is complained OF by the colored race,
some refusal Of American rights and privileges on
account OF color, which will entitle IL to appeal
in a body TO the American people for special
legislation or protection under existing laws the
convention however interesting as study OF race
development, will have the appearance OF an Offer
ing at auction OF colored votes for Offices with
demand OF bids from both political parties. The
organization OF American voters by classes or
or colors or religions is hurtful and dangerous
The American citizens who propose 10 gather at
Indianapolis should leave themselves In position
10 condemn any act suggesting that they are
Class distinct, politically, from other American
citizens They should vote like other citizens ac-
cording as reason or sentiment dictates, and
should not group together in such way as 20 be
exposed 10 the suspicion OF inviting race bribery.
